Saw this in London, and I love it. The bike hanger securely stores six bikes, using a single curbside parking spot. Huge help for those who can’t keep a bike in their home!

🔋🚲 Dockless hire bikes are massively popular, but their sheer popularity and rapid expansion means they're causing some issues - particularly around over-full parking bays. Mayor is absolutely right that government & DfT need to hurry up to deliver a pan-London programme that works for everyone.

Removing parking minimums is not the end of parking policy. Busy places still need loading, accessible spaces, permits, pricing + curb management. The goal isn't “no rules.” It is less mandate and better management.

Graphic advocating fewer parking mandates and smarter curb management: bold headline "Less mandate. Better management." over a busy shopping-center parking lot; left panel reads "Old approach — Require more parking." right panel lists "Better questions" about demand, access, curb use, and existing

Last week, the decline and fall of minimum parking mandates continued. “Barcelona’s Metropolitan Area (AMB) has just eliminated this regulation for new apartments being constructed in downtown, depending on their proximity to public transportation.”

Curb space is public. Price it like it matters, and the "reliable parking" everyone wants shows up on its own. Give it away and you get waitlists, spillover, and a TDM program working against its own stated goal. /end

Walking through Amsterdam, I was at first confused about what these structures were... until I saw a car pull into one. It's an automated underground parking garage. I knew these existed, but had never seen them before. Very cool in a sci-fi/engineering way, but not exactly a great use of money.

It’s a person who professes to be an environmentalist, but also supports policies that subsidize cars. For example, auto-oriented environmentalists typically argue that curb parking must be preserved & given away for free. To achieve that they say cities must require ample parking at all buildings.
